Has anyone had experience of using Microsoft's Services For Unix 3.5, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/default.asp ? I'm wondering whether
GRASS could be made to run under SFU, with a suitable X-server, as I'd
quite like to use GRASS for teaching purposes (and our University doesn't
have a Linux/Unix cluster room on which to run GRASS directly).
Best wishes

These are network services, adding to print services for Unix, etc. I think what you want is the grass installation for windows using the X-servers/grass files that can be downloaded from the Grass site. I set this up several times (following the instructions provided EXACTLY) and ran identical grass installations on both a linux and a win 2000 box.

What reason would there be to prefer this over Cygwin?
You can run GRASS with Cygwin.
